How do we know that true faith is a gift from God?

Answered in 3 sources

True faith is a gift from God as seen in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves.

The concept of faith as a gift from God is deeply rooted in scripture, specifically Ephesians 2:8-9, which declares that we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This emphasizes that faith is not something we can conjure up on our own, but rather it is bestowed upon us by God's grace. Additionally, in Mark 7, the interaction between Jesus and the Syrophoenician woman illustrates how faith is catalyzed by hearing of Christ and recognizing His true nature as the Messiah. Since faith leads us to seek God and acknowledge our dependence on Him, it is inherently a divine gift allowing us to rest in His promises.
